·Just wanted to introduce myself and ask a couple quick questions. I just bought my first bike, a Monster 620 Dark ie (pics here). It's the first bike I've ever owned, so for now I'm just getting used to it on the sidestreets by my house. I'm not sure I have the balls to take it out in traffic yet - maybe after the safety class at the end of the month.
One question I had: I'm having a helluva time getting used to the clutch. I seem to be killing it every other stop sign. Am I hurting the bike by doing this? Should I stay off till the safety class and learn to get going on their bikes or should I keep at it on mine?
Second: how long should I be letting the bike warm up before taking it out? I've heard that it's a good idea to let it sit for ten minutes or so. I tried waiting that long, but as soon as I start it all I wanna do is hop on and take off. Should I be waiting till the 'low' indicator goes out in the digital readout?
Thanks in advance. I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions once I'm able to get it above 30mph...
